The campsite entrance
Caught the bus into Cannes 15 mins walk from campsite , used phones to pay fares. Walked around the back street shops for a short while and had a drink on the front on the Boulevard de Croisettes. Mipcom, a conglomeration of streaming TV studios was having a large conference on the front outside the Majestic hotel.Their 3 day programme was mostly about working with AI Lots of Korean presentations
There was a stair case lined with a red carpet in front of the conference tent overlooking the beach with barricades around it . 3 actors were being photographed stood half way up (the premier of a new series the Miniature wife- Peacock Studios). The actress was tiny , as demanded in the role I guess. Security was tight, babies walking around in army fatigues holding semi automatic guns, so we didn't hang around . The crowd was shouting Ajou! Or Adieu ! At the posing actors who looked a little uncertain. We couldn't work out which. Lots of media peeps milling around talking earnestly to each other. Everyone dressed in black or grey.
Having swim twice today and slept fitfully last night , I was very tired. We caught a bus back €1.80 which was crowded and filled with coughs splutters and sneezes. Standing room only. I toppled into two seated passengers going sharply around a roundabout. One of them, a young woman, kindly ( and wisely ) offered me her seat. It felt a little embarrassing. Although I was very tired, I couldn't get to sleep until 1.45 am.A very quiet campsite nonetheless. Clean, showers good , prone to wreath and very very hot bursts of water.
